Generation NXT - NXT recap for November 1, 2017

Nikki Cross beats Taynara Conti.

We see footage from last week where Mercedes Martinez is disappointed she can't fight for the NXT Women's Championship. She has won where it counted, except tonight. She says she does not count on Ember Moon - who can't win the big one - to win this one.

Fabian Aichner gets an upset win on Johnny Gargano after reversing the Gargano Escape into an abdominal stretch into a schoolboy pin.

Drew McIntyre signs the contract for his match with Andrade "Cien" Almas, as does General Manager William Regal.

Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) show us a Maserati, and say if you work hard, this could be yours one day. We then find out the car belongs to Tino Sabbatelli and Riddick Moss, who are also in custom suits. They tell them to step away from the car. Street Profits shrug them off.

Drew McIntyre is attacked by Andrade "Cien" Almas on the stage. He then signs the contract for their match and places it on top of Drew with Zelina Vega's gum.

Peyton Royce is irritated that Billie Kay is not in the Fatal 4-Way for the NXT Women's Championship with her. They mock Kairi Sane, who shows up and points her elbow at Peyton Royce.

Next week: Peyton Royce vs. Kairi Sane!

The Authors of Pain (Akam and Rezar) vs. SAnitY (Eric Young and Alexander Wolfe) ends when both teams are attacked by The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, Kyle O'Reilly). After the match, Roderick Strong shows up. He pulls out the armband from his pocket and puts it on, then turns on The Undisputed Era. The Authors of Pain tear Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly apart, then Roderick Strong tosses the arm band away. General Manager William Regal shows says that there has been quite enough and that there will be order. He announces that at NXT TakeOver: Houston, there will be a Triple Threat Match between the team The Authors of Pain and Roderick Strong, SAnitY and The Undisputed Era. This will not be a normal Triple Threat match, as it is two rings and one cage. It is a War Games match. The "NXT TakeOver: Houston" logo turns into a "NXT TakeOver: War Games" logo on the mini-tron behind William Regal.
